Remedying Commercial Mold Damage in a New Orleans Office 

Small leaks and openings that allow water into a building are enough to cause extensive damage without proper remediation. When a local insurance broker, for example, experiences commercial mold damage in its offices, the cause can be something as small as wet building materials, flooding, or inconsistent maintenance schedules. However, these factors can create conditions that allow mold to thrive. 

If your New Orleans business has commercial mold damage, you can count on SERVPRO to get to work quickly on remedying the mold situation in your facilities. Technicians take care to use tried-and-true methods in conjunction with OSHA-approved, EPA-registered disinfectants, to ensure that we restore your building to a pre-mold condition. This team knows that disasters do not occur on a 9-to-5 schedule, so commercial mitigation services are available 24/7.  

Signs of Mold in Your Office Space 

Mold resides in all buildings in some form. However, concentrations of certain types of spores can be very toxic, and these can be especially unpleasant for people with compromised immune systems or those who are allergic to mold. You may hear employees discuss the following symptoms, which can indicate mold proliferation in your building: 

• Frequent eye, nose, throat troubles
• Skin irritation
• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Fatigue

Employees may also note a musty or moldy smell in parts of the building. If you notice these signs yourself or hear about them from employees, take action right away to remedy the issue. 

How SERVPRO Contains Mold 

When mold colonizes in a space, it can spread very quickly under the right conditions. When SERVPRO comes to your office, the focus before cleaning is on containing proliferation to maximize safety. Barriers made of plastic sheeting may be used to contain mold-affected spaces during the mold remediation process, and industrial-grade equipment can establish negative pressure in the area. HVAC openings in the affected space may be sealed to prevent mold from spreading through vents. While cleaning, SERVPRO technicians set aside separate areas for cleaning and disinfecting equipment.  

Not only do these practices prevent mold from spreading to other parts of your building, but they help maximize safety and respiratory health for both employees and technicians.
